20 Sep 08 The iPhone Has a Safe Mode
The fact that the iPhone has a Safe Mode screen is funny in so many ways. We would have expected a Microsoft phone to pull a stunt like that from time to time, but an Apple device? Remember Erica Sadun from TUAW? After the AT&T PAYG iPhone trick, she managed to find an iPhone in Safe Mode.
Here’s how you can get one yourself. First of all set your jailbroken iPhone to “fast respring” by turning on one of the SpringBoard relaunching options via BossTool. You’ll have to hope that SpringBoard crashes in order to get the Safe Mode up.
The Safe Mode will disable some extensions and you can escape from it by rebooting the handset.
